My daughter had never taken a formal dance class and was very anxious to start. I searched all over…read morefor a beginning dance class that fit our lifestyle (read: had classes at times that weren't mid-day or too late) and fit my daughter's skill level. Often by age 6, most studios have assumed children have been dancing for 3-4 years and my daughter no longer fit into their "beginning" classes. EDS popped up a few times, and the location was fairly convenient, as were the class times and offerings. My daughter was VERY eager to start in Beginning Ballet and learn to dance. From the beginning we were impressed with EDS and their flexibility. My daughter couldn't attend her first class until the 3rd week of the season. They accepted her warmly and without penalty, and reminded me that the first class you take is completely free (so if you hate it, you don't pay for it.) She got a free dance bag (which is a pretty cheap drawstring backpack, BUT she loves it and is very proud of it) and got to paint her hand and put her handprint on the wall in the hallway, and she was so proud to do that. What I was VERY excited about was their willingness to accept her and work with her, regardless of her Austism diagnosis. Many studios said they weren't equipped, or they didn't have the staff to accommodate a special needs dancer. EDS goes above and beyond to accommodate and welcome dancers and families with special needs. They have a Special Olympics team, a unified dance team, special needs classes, and more. We've never felt out of place or unwelcome at EDS (and special needs families know that is an ongoing battle.) Miss Brianne is a wonderful teacher and has met my daughter at her skill level, and my daughter has been thrilled to go to class each week. The staff is warm and welcoming, and I've never heard an angry instructor or crying student. The studios are light and bright and airy and they truly go out of their way to make every student feel welcome and important.

Vito Magrone is a professional ballroom dancer who has had an amazing career. I won't go into his…read morewhole bio here, you can catch it on his website. But it is very impressive. He is also a longtime Wood Dale resident. He recently re-opened his ballroom dance business at the Georgetown Clubhouse in Wood Dale. On Thursday nights, Vito teaches a group class. One dance is featured per month. It could be anything; American Style Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Tango, Rumba, Salsa/Mambo, Waltz, Swing, Hustle... you get the idea! The class is for anyone, you don't need prior ballroom dance experience. Anyone who has met Vito knows how much fun he is. He has quite the personality! He's also patient, professional and a great teacher. You are sure to have a good time. The cost is $10 - very reasonable for an instructor of this caliber, and Vito always stays around after the lesson to hold open dance practice for the students. He'll play a variety of ballroom music. It is a fun and casual atmosphere. The Georgetown Clubhouse is a spacious place to dance. You'll come for the dancing and keep coming back because it is so much fun! I highly recommend Vito and his class to anyone who wants to try ballroom dancing.

I came to his lessons as a complete novice- I had never had a dance lesson in my life. He is an amazing teacher and has taught me so much!!! I look forward to my lessons every week where I know I will learn something new and have a great time with a fun group of people. Also, most importantly you don't need to bring a partner for group classes or private lessons. In addition, he hosts social dances which I am always sure to make room in my calendar to attend. It's always a great time!

It was a slow start for me, but eventually I integrated into the classes and the community surrounding Halau i Ka Pono and wouldn't trade it for the world.

June teaches the far depth of the Aloha and Hula spirit; bringing culture, dance, history and language into one sacred space.

The first class was very enjoyable and I left feeling relaxed and in a good mood. The instructor, June, has a wonderful personality and her peaceful energy is contagious. The only problem I had with the class is that at the beginner's level, the classes are drop-in. Every week that I went, there was someone new in the class and so we always started from the beginning, with the same explanations and reviewing the same dance moves. Week after week-this eventually diminished my enthusiasm over the class. It felt a little like Groundhog Day. My suggestion would be more structure and perhaps a syllabus of some sort. I've taken other dance classes and for example, you sign up for six weeks of classes where there is a progression of training. I would've been willing to pay more for a class with more dancing and less repetitiveness.
